A new update for the World of Warcraft shows reference to another Blizzard game Overwatch. The latest patch 7.1.5 brings back the Brawler's Guild. On the other hand, the game Overwatch recently received its latest update that adds the Oasis map.

The latest patch for World of Warcraft lets players gain access to the "Ogrewatch" challenge. As the name implies, it took the features from the famous game Overwatch. It's not just the name of the challenge, even the bosses that players will face are significantly similar to that of the other Blizzard game, according to GameSpot.

For example, Dupree, who is significantly similar to Overwatch's McCree, has a certain ability called Highnoon. The boss Hudson also has similar weaponry and abilities as Winston.

It is possible that as you play along with the Ogrewatch challenge, more characters will appear that will have a similarity with other Overwatch characters. Names like Blinker, Render, and Steingart also appear, sounding similar to Tracer, Reaper, and Reinhart.

The 7.1.5 patch, however, does not guarantee that players can have straight access to the Ogrewatch challenge. A Blood-soaked Invitation is needed, or you need to fight the elite vrykul by heading to the Shield's Rest.

On the other hand, Overwatch has received an upgrade. A new map called Oasis can now be enjoyed by players. The new map is for Control game type. It is set in a desert city where buildings, avenues, and reckless cars make it challenging to keep tabs on targets. Players will now have to dodge those reckless cars while in the Oasis map, The Verge reported.

The Oasis map was announced together with a new hero named Sombra back in November 2016. Although the update has been ready on all Overwatch Public Test Region servers, it was not released until now. So players see this as an exciting New Year adventure.
